Rockies Review: If chance will have me king
King Duncan: Is execution done on Cawdor? Are not Those in commission yet return'd? Malcolm: My liege, They are not yet come back. But I have spoke With one that saw him die; who did report That very frankly he confessed his treasons, Implor'd your Highness' pardon, and set forth A deep...
Rockies Review: Gaining Traction?
Normally, it isn't cause for celebration when it takes until Memorial Day for your team to succeed in winning its second road series, but normally, your team isn't the 2009 Colorado Rockies. While the triumph today was quite surprising and enjoyable, not least because the defence showed up in a...
Rockies Review: Babies and bathwater
I'm gonna keep this simple, guys. I'm tired, I'm irritated, that damn homework STILL isn't done, and, as I imagine most of you are, I'm not too keen on writing about, thinking about, or putting up with this team right now. In essence, there are two courses to take: stay it, and hope that things get...
Rockies Review: Nice guys, winners, and principles of mutual exclusion
Well, we won a one-run game today, but I'm fairly sure we did it by accident. In the top of the eighth, with the Rockies clinging to a 3-2 lead, Wes Helms torched a hanging slider from Alan Embree and only missed a homer because the axial tilt of the earth and the intersection of the sunlight...
Rockies Review: Con-Con-Con-Consistency
Lake Wobegon Whippets fans, it pains me to report that however well the week appeared to be going (four wins in five games) it ended on another sour note. The hitting was weak, the box score looked bad, and the managing was (very) below average, all adding up to a 10-inning, 1-0 loss to the San...
Rockies Review Goes Artsy-Fartsy (?!)
Since aside from today, there's nothing much worth recounting, I decided to have a little fun instead. Please, throw all the rotten fruit you like -- as long as it isn't anything that will cause lasting damage, like beer bottles. ---------- Rockies Review does not have much to reviewBecause the...
Rockies Review: Well, That Sucked
Since everyone, including myself, is not particularly anxious to re-live the gory details of the past week in all their Technicolour detail, Rockies Review (dramatic drumroll) will be taking a slightly different tack. Let's just say that after a 3-1 start that had all the crocuses perking up and...
Rockies Review: Now Suitable For Your Cell Phone
Okay loonies and gruntlemen, I have almost no time at all, so this is going to be depressingly wisecrack-free. Onwards and upwards. Plus my internet has been total fail, which doesn't help. March 23: MIL 1 @ COL 7. 10-12.Ubaldo pitched six scoreless innings, allowing three hits, two walks, and two...
